The following background is provided solely for personal and contextual understanding of the founder. It is not presented as a professional profile, curriculum vitae, or statement of authority, and must not be relied upon for professional, regulatory, clinical, academic, or advisory purposes. All regulated, institutional, or professional roles referenced herein are historical, contextual, and institution-specific and are not offered, exercised, or represented through this platform.

Dr. Mohit Bhatara’s professional background reflects broad international exposure, encompassing academic engagement, educational training, research collaboration, institutional participation, advisory contributions, and travel across multiple regions, including but not limited to the USA, UK, Canada, Ireland, China, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Thailand, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Jordan, the UAE, Ethiopia, India, and Nigeria.

In addition to his other current institutional affiliations, he is the Founder of NeusktchmechArc, an independent conceptual and creative project, undertaken as a personal initiative pursued solely in a personal capacity and entirely separate from all institutional or professional roles. It functions as an exploratory creative prototype situated at the intersection of visual practice, reflective design inquiry, and conceptual development.

His broader career history spanned academic involvement, research activity, operational leadership, and advisory participation across diverse international contexts. This included prior employment within a JCI-accredited tertiary-care hospital in the UAE, where he was involved in departmental administration and management, along with related responsibilities, academic appointments as Associate Professor and Lecturer at institutions in Africa and China, and a previous Affiliate Faculty association in Canada. In India, his experience included a management role within the wellness and aesthetic sector of a corporate group, alongside leadership involvement in pre-opening and operational functions across South Asia and the Middle East. Within institutional settings in Africa, his leadership contributions included committee-based roles such as Secretary of a Committee, Secretary of a Laboratory Establishment Committee, and membership on additional institutional committees. While based in the UAE, he remained actively engaged in independent research and collaborative work within the research domain. He has previously contributed to advisory-oriented discussions related to organisational strategic planning across diverse international contexts. Through a formal departmental memorandum of understanding, undertaken during his tenure in Africa, with an industrial group operating within a structured industrial ecosystem, he contributed to strategic initiatives and supported cross-sector collaboration and research exchange. He previously served as a committee member of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) and as a voting member of the Appeals Board within a formal institutional setting, independent of and unrelated to this personal initiative.

Dr. Bhatara holds personal memberships and affiliations, across different categories, with several professional and scholarly organisations, including the Fulbright Association, the British Association for Holistic Medicine and Healthcare , the International Society for Traditional, Complementary & Integrative Medicine Research, KPMG UK Connect on Board, the American Psychological Association, and the British Psychological Society, where he holds Chartered Member status with the British Psychological Society. He holds regulatory registrations, including RCI, that apply only within specific institutional and jurisdictional contexts and are not exercised, offered, or relied upon through this platform, and do not authorise or imply the provision of regulated services through this platform. 

He was previously invited to contribute in honorary capacities within formal institutional and community settings. These included service as an Honorary Collaborative Advisor with a department at a public academic institution in Africa, as well as service as an Honorary Community Engagement Mentor supporting psychoeducation, disability, and inclusion-focused programmes with a special-needs organisation in Africa. He received an invitation to participate, in an honorary and advisory capacity, in Board of Studies-related discussions for a specific academic domain at a UAE-based academic centre operating under a UK-based academic institution. In addition, he participated in the ODS Nepal delegation in an observational and engagement-oriented capacity. He was also nominated as an External Consultant Advisor for a community service initiative that operated under the guidance of the Vice President for Research and Community Services at a public academic institution in Africa. All such roles were institution-specific, time-bound, and independent of this personal initiative.

Dr. Bhatara engaged in community service and social-impact initiatives across Africa, India, Nepal, the UAE, and China, contributing to programmes focused on health promotion, psychosocial well-being, education, and inclusion. His work supported eye health initiatives, autism-related programmes, education awareness activities, and creative community initiatives for children and adolescents. He served as a Founding Member during the formative phase of non-commercial, service-oriented community club in Africa. His contributions in industrial settings included supporting cross-cultural workforce adaptation to enhance organisational functioning.

Alongside volunteering in education-driven campaigns, he provided honorary advisory and mentorship support for psychoeducation, empowerment, disability support, and art therapy initiatives. His involvement further included supporting student wellbeing activities within higher education environments and co-leading educational awareness projects benefiting students, reflecting a sustained commitment to community development across multiple regions. He received an early-stage nomination for the African Community Service Awards and was selected for Phase 1 of the FEEL Dubai Program. He also submitted contributions to the Prototypes for Humanity initiative. His personal interests are shaped by sustained curiosity and a quiet creative impulse. This artistic engagement takes form through NeusktchmechArc, a reflective creative universe within which an evolving body of work is allowed to emerge gradually and meaningfully.
